Easy to grow perennials?

Hi, I'm new and I had a few questions I thought someone here could help me with.

I'm a fairly inexperienced gardener so any and all help will be MOST appreciated.

I have this huge tub thing in the yard and I really would like to make use of it. I'd like to plant perennials in it. What I'd like is something that will either bloom all growing season long OR a few plants that will bloom at different times so I will have flowers all season. I live in hardiness zone 7-8 and I'd like to find plants that are easy to find and grow.

I know that's a lot of conditions, but I hope someone here can help me!

[align=left]I'm doing a lot of container gardening this year, but I usually put annuals in them.*** One perennial* I would recommend is Dianthus.* It usually does good and gets bigger and prettier the following year(s).*** Just mulch on top before winter hits.* Daisies would also work well.[/align]
